The good, bad and essential: microbes that affect food and health

MIT chemical engineers devised a metal-organic coating that protects bacterial cells from damage without impeding their growth or function.

At left, the inset shows the components that create the protective shell of the microbes, as represented in the center inset by triangular formations.
